Chapter 377 Division
"We are a military nation, so most of the high-ranking officials are samurai. Even in the neighboring villages and towns, there are many ronin. The martial spirit is very strong."
"Even if the status of craftsmen, workers and scholars is high, they cannot shake the status of samurai."
"Even many craftsmen and scholars were warriors themselves."
"And the samurai's path will not disappoint us. We samurai can clearly climb to the realm of 'familiars', which used to be the realm only for immortal beasts and monsters."
"But Xumi is different from us. They are a famous country of scholars. Countless scholars were born here, and countless international students from other countries gathered here."
“Countless wisdom and knowledge are also deposited here.”
"The status of scholars here is similar to that of warriors in our country."
"Besides, since the Ministry of Education imprisoned the spirit that originally belonged to Xumi, the Little Auspicious Grass King, the atmosphere here is more open."
"But Xumi is not 'eternal' at all. Whether it is the Decree House or the six major sects, the leaders change very frequently. It is only because the great sage Azar is good in all aspects that Xumi has become so stable."
"The political situation in Xumi was really chaotic in the past few years, otherwise we wouldn't have grown so big."
"Of course, the chaotic political situation has also given rise to other things. You will naturally know these when you get there."
In just over a decade, the strength of the Xumi branch increased by one-fifth, absorbing a large number mercenaries and tribes from the desert. It also actually controlled a relatively prosperous town in the rainforest and one-third of the territory of Kawanyi, a vital post station.
As for the other two thirds, they are naturally controlled by a group of thirty people hired by the Xumi government.
No one in the Rock Shadow and Thunder Campaign knew how many followers of Lord Little Auspicious Grass King there were, but they only knew that there were definitely some, and in quite a large number.
The followers of Little Auspicious Grass King were initially recruited with the help of the Rock Shadow and Thunder Lightning Clan, and most of them were selected from elites in all walks of life.
After some training, some of them became the secret mobile force under King Xiaojixiangcao.
But most of them dispersed and merged into the entire Xumi. At first, the people of Yanying Leiguang could still roughly know the approximate data of these people, but now, Xumi is the opponent's base after all, and the speed of development is far beyond the imagination of the people of Yanying Leiguang.
Up to now, although the number of people who believe in the Small Auspicious Grass King in Xumi is not as large as that of the Great Compassionate Tree King, it is also incomparable to some other beliefs.
For example, there are the beliefs of the Red King, the Rock Thunder Belief (the belief in opposing Ren Lingyi), etc. In fact, many desert tribes now believe in the Little Auspicious Grass King, but most of these desert tribes are small tribes.
It seemed that it took the Little Auspicious Grass King a long time to guide several tribes to merge into a medium-to-large tribe.
After all, the larger the original tribe, the stronger its faith in the Red King.
As for why King Xiaojixiangcao developed desert tribes and rainforest villages.
This seems to be Ren Lian Lingyi's fault again. He should not have told the little Jixiang Grass King the story of surrounding the city from the beginning.
As a result, the development of Little Jixiang Grass King is so solid that its base is too solid.
Even the development of the group was greatly affected by the Battle of Rock Shadow and Lightning.
However, Lian Lingyi also feels that the current manpower in Xumi is sufficient.
Otherwise, there is a way out.
…
The group soon arrived at the largest port city of Xumi, Port of Omos, which is one of the most important seaports of Xumi. In order to avoid the development of the Little Auspicious Grass King, under the order of Ren Lian Lingyi, the branch of the Rock Shadow Thunder Battle more than a hundred years ago was moved here for development.
Taking advantage of the mixed characteristics of the port city, the Yanying Leiguang group is like a fish in water here.
More than a hundred years ago, after taking over the black market and intelligence transactions in Port Omos, the branch has firmly established its foothold here.
Decades ago, the dark side of the entire Port of Omos had already been completely unified. The Xumi branch had more than 12,000 official members in Port of Omos. Except for those small-time thugs on the streets, all other businesses of the dark side of the entire Port of Omos were monopolized by the branch of the Rock Shadow Thunderbolt Clan.
Even on the surface, the Rock Shadow Raikou Clan has a lot of legal businesses, and under the protection of the dark side, those businesses are basically the most profitable.
For example, the supply of taverns and beverages, the manufacturing, repair and maintenance of ships, and the replenishment and supply of materials.
There is also the most critical supply chain of Xumi specialties and the latest canned knowledge smuggling.
Of course, the most important Xumi specialties are not only rainforest specialties, but also desert specialties. They are all sold in large quantities. In addition to some high-quality desert specialties directly supplied to the royal family of the distant country, the rest are provided by three medium-sized desert tribes and more than a dozen small desert tribes. Provide them with general desert specialties. As long as the specialties are available on the market, they can basically supply them.
The specialties of the rainforest are similar, with a small town and several towns and villages providing them with specialties.
There are even professional scholars who provide guidance on their production. Apart from tax evasion, there is basically nothing illegal about it. "
However, they handed the smuggling of materials over to other Gilded Brigades, thus avoiding the biggest pitfall. Even if the smuggling of materials was discovered several times by the tax officials and disciplinary officers of Xumi City, it did not cause any major losses to the huge Rock Shadow Thunder Army.
After all, with the administrative efficiency of the Xumi Order Institute, it is normal that they cannot catch this kind of smuggling, and it is rather rare that they can catch it.
The most important thing is that even if this kind of smuggled materials are caught, it’s no big deal. After all, they are just some ordinary materials, not contraband. If you are caught, the most you have to do is pay the taxes that should be paid on this batch of materials. Although the profit is a little less, it is not a loss.
As for contraband, such as the smuggling of canned knowledge, the Rock Shadow and Thunderbolt Clan is also doing it, but they neither do it themselves nor entrust others to do it. They directly use mushroom beasts to smuggle these contraband materials.
Ren Lian Lingyi reached a consensus with the will of the fungus community back then, and together they promoted the evolution of the Green-winged Terror Fungus, the king of fungi beasts.
More than a hundred years ago, the life energy level of the Green-winged Terror Fungus entered the final stage LV90+, and Ren Lian Lingyi let it go. Then the will of the fungus community returned the favor and gave Ren Lian Lingyi's followers the method to drive ordinary mushroom beasts and elite mushroom beasts. The Rock Shadow Thunder Lightning followers used this to smuggle.
